It is as though someone has drilled peep holes into the walls of emergency rooms, operating rooms and doctors' offices. I can't look away.

Color Me Green

I am jealous of the Bohemian Road Nurse. And it’s not just because she has a message goat, or that she’s a nurse, or that she knows how to knit. It’s because she can write a good comment. Every medblog I go to, she’s been there already, leaving behind a witty retort, an insightful question, or a practical tip. She’s even been kind enough to leave a comment or two on my little blog.

One of my “work” projects is to read Bohemian’s archives. And I want to leave her a nice, witty comment. So I was just reading one of her posts (oh yeah, I’m also jealous because she’s such an entertaining writer). The post had pictures (yep, jealous), including a picture of drinks from Sonic. So when it came time for me to leave a comment, what was the only thing on my mind?---how much I wanted to go to the Sonic and get me a Cherry Slush. What kind of comment is that? So, I didn't leave a comment. But I will next time. A real good one.

If I find out Bohemian has good hair, too, there is gonna be a catfight. Just kidding. Bohemian-Lou used to be a biker chick. She could kick my ass with one hand tied behind her back.

Addendum: I think maybe a little clarification is needed. This post is supposed to be an expression of my admiration for Bohemian's writing abilities and my frustration at not being able to think of a damn thing to say after reading a great blog. I hope it is taken that way.

Oh dear, I hope you're not falling into the ultra-competitive mindset so many of us get quagmired in...myself included at times!

Might I recomend (somewhat paraphrasing Dino) to just blog (and comment) for yourself ? It might sound "selfish"...but we are anonymous entities (for the most part), blogging/commenting for our own expression, ventilation, edification or amusement.

If only one person likes your blog - and that person is you - isn't that the most important thing ?

I do question why I am writing a blog and the blogging boundaries. I initially only set one up so I could comment on other blogs but then find I feel compelled to write. Sometimes I think I am going to pull the blog and just participate anonymously - but then I write ...just one more thing.

Then after I read other blogs I get intimidated and think about stopping again.

I crack up at a lot of the medical ones - that's what got me hooked in the 1st place. :)

Dork: I don't think she's being competitive. I think she's just still trying to find her balls. She certainly has them, and I know they're big enough so that she's not going to be able to keep hiding them too much longer.

Gosh--thank you for saying those nice things! I always feel like I'm a strange goof-ball and that people must think I am nuts. (Ok, I am nuts but I always hope that people won't notice...) I live a simple and isolated life since returning to Podunk after a long absence. My subsequent discovery of the world of blogging has been very enjoyable--and I love your clever blog!
